Underwear recommendations for support and growth in pregnancy?

[Brandi1234]

Hi ladies, any suggestions for pants that will be comfy and for lack of a better term, ‘grow’ with you as belly (and elsewhere) grows?

I’ve already sized up by two but find regular pants just really annoying like digging into my hips and at this rate I’ll be buying so many pants as I grow each month!

I’m based in Ireland but have access to the UK if anyone has suggestions I’d appreciate it!

Thanks x

I bought cotton maternity pants from h&m. They sit below a bump and I found that the most comfortable.

[Lydialego123 in reply to Brandi1234]

great! I went a size bigger that way I thought they’d last till the end and so far so good they are the best ones I’ve found x

What sort of cut did you get? I got 2 sizes up waist-high granny pants and they were perfect! Also great for recovering from the C-section as they were well away from the scar. xx

I think The ones I have are hipster from tesco which I normally wear but of course, they are digging into my hips 😂 xx

I bought Asda maternity knickers recently in last months. They are super good, i biught 1 size up as I didn't put on extra weight than the baby belly but would have been better if I went up by 2 sizes by the end. Reason for up size is mainly I had not developed the liking of having any thing sticking fit on my belly, hae been wearing regular undies and pants below the belly round all my pregnancy. Even maternity jeans were waste for me, but I see it's more of developing a new habit and likings but I always kept myself to over comfort. If you like fit clothes in general then I think you should go for maternity knickers as they are supportive and designed to expand with belly.

The regular ones I had were jockey to wear under Trousers , they are still so comfortable in my original size but I can't find my size here now. Other I was comfortable were asda midis which were good if went up by size but asda maternity briefs will help if having cesarean delivery at last.

I bought the Asda maternity ones and they were brilliant, just had my little boy and found that they are great after having a c section as well. I also live in Ireland.

[Brandi1234 in reply to Annag29]

They seem to be coming out as a winner here and great that they deliver to Ireland! Did you size up? X

[Annag29 in reply to Brandi1234]

Yea I went one size up and was perfect right to the end of pregnancy x
